There is no likely scenario in which I would pay $2,000 for a video card.

Guess their free giveaways kinda work as a promotion then.

I’m cheap, once I get the game free somewhere I take it off my Steam wishlist.

I like Heroic but it doesn’t always help. I spent hours yesterday trying to get the Hot Wheels game working and never did get it working in game mode, only desktop.

I too have basically all of them. A few have caught my interest on PC. More than a few were a big pain to get working on Steam Deck even with Heroic Launcher.

Sweeney’s attitude doesn’t make me want to ever ever buy anything from modern Epic Games, but I will claim free stuff.

Always knew it was a good idea to dodge the Nvidia app. Everything running in the background can affect performance. I got by on low end hardware for years because I had an optimized system.

Sorry commenting is not optional.

As long as you realize you don’t have to eat and the time constraints aren’t as tough as it first seems.

We all figured that. The question is will there be any additional single player content.

Yes I don’t like enemies that spawn. Especially in a single player game I think a world where everything gets created with the game world and stays that way is very interesting. Of course it’s good if events can change the sandbox, like if you don’t deal with a goblin camp near the village then they raid the village later.

If he has no new ideas for consoles that’s why he’s a former boss.

Free game, China, kernel level anticheat. Risky for a PC with any personal or sensitive data on it.

This seems like such a nothing case. Steam is optional. It’s optional for publishers to use, it’s optional for users to install. Steam provides many many benefits for even free games or games not purchased on the Steam store.

Any publisher can publish their game on their own site, on other stores, on physical media. Even though Steam is dominant, you can buy games somewhere else as easily as you can download and install Steam itself.

I hope this case gets thrown out.

I thought that deal was long gone already, at least for previous subscribers. I used to cancel and the resubscribe for $1 over and over.

Good lord they make beautiful games but are such idiots.

Whew, gotta be in the mood for a challenge though!

Project Zombiod and about to buy Portal Knights.

Every once in a while they release something like Anno 1800 that everyone seems to like. So maybe.

Planetside 2, Arma 3, and X4 Foundations.

Yay I love sitting at my computer with mouse and keyboard in hand watching my character do things. /s

That’s my conclusion after trying 3 times. There is no other game like NMS and I really wanted to like ir but it just never clicked with me.

They probably didn’t know how many players their servers could support. This was one way to find out.

I didn’t find those sections at the beginning of the game very fun, sort of a trial by fire. I think checkpoints or a save anywhere system would have pretty much solved it though.

IIRC the reason you were being stealthy is because the faction wasn’t supposed to know you were there. If you start blasting how will that work story wise?

At this point the best time to start is now.

Seeing all the stupid skins running around is part of what soured me on PlanetSide 2.

They would need general AI to police the LLM AI. Otherwise LLMs will keep serving up crap because their input data set is full of crap.

Yeah but good this time. Build it from a gamers perspective.

That is on only one Earthlike planet in the Elite Dangerous Milky Way galaxy.

Give the people what they want. Solid business strategy.

Why are there cars?

If it isn’t protecting you from popups in 2024 then it needs work.

Too expensive and too late mostly.

Don’t let Sweeney hear about this.

Yeah most people won’t pay that for a handheld.

I’m on mobile as well and Firefox Nightly blocks all the ads and popups on PCGamer.

I had a hard time with Stardew at first, but I realized that you don’t have to eat to survive, crops are just for profit, gifts, ingredients, and collections. That got me out of the survival game mentality. I also learned to relax about the daily time cycle. Once I got automatic sprinklers working that was a lot easier.

No offense intended, but what are you doing browsing in 2024 without uBlock Origin?

How much did it cost to compile the report about the cost of mass layoffs?

It’s making the offline work better for Steam Deck, but not GTA online. That should ensure some ongoing Steam Deck owner purchases of GTA V, but Rockstar still won’t be getting that sweet ongoing Shark Card income from Steam Deck players.

X4 Foundations. I have probably 500 hours in it and still don’t know what it really means. But it’s a unique and interesting game.
